1 Cop, 2 Cops, 5 Cops…This Guy Let’s Them All Have It, Then he Walks Away

Meet Ricky, a seemingly nervous guy, who was simply walking down the street when an officer pulled up next to him and brandished her .40 cal.

Ricky refused to submit to police harassment. He happened to ‘fit the description’ of a guy that cops were looking for, so they felt it necessary to dispatch multiple units to shake him down. He did not give in.

this all coulda been avoided if his Rights werent violated to begin with. Sure he dropped some f-bombs ... he also had a cop try and abuse his rights... arent cops trained to know such things? I`m not saying he handled himself well when it came to talking to the cops... but think about how you would feel in that situation. Cops shouldnt be out there trying to break peoples rights unless they wish to fund that persons lifestyle after the law suit. The Public dont trust cops and for good reason , im not saying all cops are bad.... but who polices the Police ? this Brotherhood bullshit thing isnt helping them... it just makes them look like a bigger gang of thugs. Accountability is important in life and if the public is being held accountable for breaking this law or that law then the police should be held accountable when they violate someones rights

They were authentically looking for someone that he matched the description of. We have a duty to ID ourselves if they articulate a reasonable suspicion. She did. I'll look at the video again... And I'm not a cop lover however... I know my rights AND duties. Sometimes people want to flex their rights and forget their duty. She sufficed LEO presumption to shift the burden onto the citizen. He's lucky he was not hurt.

Rand Cadmus She , however could have said hey man look we are looking for this guy who has a restraining order and has his gf's keys or whatever the case was , instead of being vague and elusive as to why she was stopping him .. it was very simple,, she was trying to be tricky .. you know, thats what i dislike the most , the trickery , when all they have to do is ask ,,the mere fact that she was omissive in her answering of his questions and vague and elusive in her question gave this citizen an absolute right to become cagey and non compliant in the interrogation.. any reasonably intelligent person would know right away that something was up, bottom line is she drew a weapon on him, then expected him to cooperate .. another interesting point is the taser being brandished, the guy had a phone in one hand a cup of coffee in the other, im not answering shit if someone approaches me like that .

if u don't like the way cops handle them self move to Singapore it's idiots like this that have caused policeman to act like they do. This dude should have been locked up. for obstructing justice. All they would have had to do was answer a few questions I my self have been stop when I knew I had not done nothing wrong they ask questions and let me go on my way . You never know what if someone had just killed someone close to you that fit this idiots description .by asking questions they could detain or release him what will that hurt

Richard Marsh and then you fill the jails full of people using their rights on charges of obstructing justice , that is not an answer. People act differently , what you see as a jerk obstructing justice others see it as a man who knows his rights and dont want them violated . She also didnt need 4 cars of back up for a simple name .

Ron Bye No, but not one of them know if he was armed or not, if someone you don't know starts getting irratic with you, wouldn't you call for backup as well??? I think any officer in their right mind would

Welcome to Amerika. Perhaps it is time to start pulling over police type people and put a gun to THEIR head. And take their ID and find out where they live and publish their wife's/husbands names and children's name. Think for a minute. If a cop fears for his child's life, he will be different in just a few hours. Or sooner. And act that way.

I don't think this video should be promoted, I think that this guy is antagonizing them. He does have his rights, but you have to help cops do their jobs for the betterment of society. There are enough videos of cops screwing up out there, I don't this is one of them.

With a smirk on my face I'll say " my name is blah blah, here's my id, I just came from over there, those people can verify it" cop " ok thank you sir for not being a douch!" I'm on my way within 5mins. Simple

Caleb, we seem to be the only 1% left in America that still have a common sense left! The world laugh at us because we are so liberal, rights are being turned into I can act tough card . Like out of control kids that yells at their own parents.

Jason Yang i had a cop ask me to frisk me. i said NO. what reason do you have? i did infact give him my full name tho. i had no problem with that. YES he was looking for someone who looked like me. I was not a big deal. Another time i saw a few cops search some young kids. I told them both DO NOT LET THE OFFICERS SEARCH YOU. they didnt listen. they were minding there own business and ended up being arrested for having a little bag of weed. there are plenty of good LEO's out there. some bad ones make people think its all bad.

Zach Ayvruhm ok so your saying its better to have the police there waster everyone's time rather then find someone who has just committed a crime? How does that even make sense? I get that he didnt have to give his name.

Jeff Deuparo "she just asked for his name. it was not a illegal search of his car"
i already said it- he didn't have to. you can say why didn't he do this or that all day long- at the end of the day, it was his prerogative, and at the initial confrontation with the police he was not being detained; and therefor not obligated to provide identification or give his name. if he wanted to he could have simply asked if he was being detained or free to leave. legally she wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. regardless, he has video evidence of the whole encounter so the entire thing would have been up to the court of law to proceed further. you don't have to say a word without a lawyer. you just have to be willing to go that route, and he was.

Zach Ayvruhm I guess I see if different then. I would sure hate it if I needed the police and they were busy with some a-hole demanding to know whey they need his name. This is what our kids see and this is why some parents are doing more harm. I have an acquaintance who tells his kids that if a "cop" says anything to you just tell them to f off. Yep good thinking. What you are saying about legally and obligation means nothing when some one is really in need of the police.

Jeff Deuparo Not to be disrespectful but if you think giving the police your ID is the only way to move on with your day then you are wrong. Ultimately, they let him go and he never once brandished his ID. This guy has a lot of guts and I applaud his refusal to cooperate with these goons.

Jeff Deuparo , your friend telling his child to not only talk that way to a adult but to not like police is the most dangerous thing ive ever heard! I may have a problem with how police act or treat citizens but that just a cut and dry case of someone who should not breed and should be smacked in the face! my problem with them is totally different then teaching my child to dislike them for no reason at all! and you know what I do try to be as helpful and respectful as I can be without just signing over my rights, you know why because in the event my child got took my some sick pervert they have enough man power to help me! also I don't teach my kid that because in the event he was taken and was able to get away I would want him to go to the police because they would bring him home safe! me personally I don't feel like their shouldn't be police, but is it so wrong that I feel the dept needs a over haul? needs some new rules and such? no its not because nothing is perfect, and everything in this world can always use a make over or a new style!!

Sure he could have just given his name and it would have been over for him. However, his point is that the police are becoming bullies and overriding people's rights at an escalating clip. Somebody needs to stand up to them. If not him, then who?

Kat Chapman Yeah, I mean, "if you just give him your lunch money"... They'll be back asking for that, and your shoes, next week.
I know a parole lawyer who wrote a packet on how to deal with prison (FULL of bullies) and the answer is "Even if you KNOW you're gonna lose, if a fight starts, you fight back. Refusing to fight will make you a target forever. Actually fighting will be seen more like being initiated into a fraternity through hazing." Moral of the story, if you let bullies bully, they'll never stop. Fight back and they'll either find better things to do, or better people to do it to.

No, but I understand what is for the greater good.
How would police pursue ANY criminals if you're going to say they don't have the right to question citizens?

So, your child gets molested and he gives a description of his attacker. You're going to tell your son, "Sorry son, we can't bring your rapist to justice because the police don't have a right to question anybody that you described."

You can non-comply in such a way as to not give the cop an excuse to detain you. Remain calm. Let them talk. Keep mentioning respect and how if they want you to answer their questions, directly and without evasion, then they should do the same.

Don't get flustered, pause before speaking, don't get agitated, and know your rights.

I'm not disagreeing with you, not exactly, but I think my approach is different is all.

These cops are supposed to enforce the laws but they don't know the laws or choose to ignore the laws. The blonde bimbo cop could have went on her way at the first part of the video but he just didn't submit the way she wanted to.

And being a combat vet ... how many times did you drop the F-Bomb as well as everything else the first few times you were under enemy fire ..... if you say none your a damn liar. 1st I ever went under enemy fire I could have beaten Richard Pryor in dropping F-Bombs and everything else .... Personally I didn't have a problem, He was nervous, and scared. Hell he just had a .40 Cal Semi-Auto and a Tazer pulled on him, and illegally detained. Lose the political correct BS and grow some balls!

Although a bit of his language wasn't helpful I can't really fault him for it. It is a very normal reaction to being in a threatened position by fully armed police who work in a police system that allows police to use violence with little to no consequence. I would hate to see how this would have went down if it wasn't broad daylight on a busy street while being filmed. I am sure this man isn't accustomed to being in situations where his life was endangered making it hard to keep things calm. You make a good point though but as a soldier I am sure you have had lots of practice in escalated situations. I think it was important to note though because the aggression (even though justified) gives cops one more thing to fall back on when needing to defend their uncalled for behavior. And Dalton I won't even flatter your stupid comment with a response.

Steven Beene: Having been accidently shot before, I wouldn't have put up with someone pulling a gun out on me. Until you walk in his shoes (or mine), don't judge how he treats injustice. I have had cops do some very stupid and illegal things to me, and they have gotten way with it. I look up addresses of dirty and murderous cops and post them online. They do not have more rights than the rest of us. So, if giving out their addresses is the only deterrent we have left, then they can worry about vigilantes. There can take their Bear stickers on the back windows of their cars and shove them.

Scott Asbjornsen Sir - I have NOT had someone accidentally shoot me, but I have been shot at. Multiple times. Granted, it was combat, and that's different ...

That said - no, I do not surrender my right to comment simply because I have not had this specific incident happen to me - nor do I ask you to do the same.

There are bad cops - in the same vein, and using the same logic, cops could see you, and think you remind them of someone (or several someones) who was a problem before and therefore prejudge you.

My point good sir is that cops need to follow the law, yes, and that there is serious need of reform in how we handle complaints concerning police officers, also yes, but we as citizens also need to be mindful of our actions too.

Mentally walking yourself through bad situations is something Soldiers, fire folk, and LEOs do all the time - but also citizens should do, especially vis a vis dealing with legal situations.

and you didnt say OH FUCK and your adrenaline didnt fly into the stratosphere? this guy is a civilian and he did just fine,, there are no classes to take on how to talk to police except the ones we were brainwashed in when we were kids ,,,remember when the policeman came to your school and said he was your friend? .. he de- escalated the situation he was drawn upon ... UNARMED i might add and did not get shot ,, that was because of HIS actions not the police , as you see he also de- escalated getting tased as well.

The situation is the same as with most of the rest of our Government. The Founding Fathers would have been shooting years ago, but we seem to think everything will eventually work out. Wrong, it is long past that time. Walking your way mentally, through a situation you would never expect to be in, is a fantasy in the civilian world. Most of the police in this country have been taught a bag of tricks to get away with all kind of things. I have neighbor that is an Auburn, WA Officer. I asked him why the good cops can't keep the bad ones under control. He said that the ones in charge are protecting them, and his hands are tied, and he is already on the edge of the department, because he is old school, and believes in service. He is one of my favorite people, and I helped them eventually get past the death of their awesome German Shepherd, and now they have new GS puppy from some of our friends from church. I have the State Patrol on Speed Dial, because of a cop in my small town, outside of Tacoma. If he tries anything else on me, and I can't get any to stop him, I will. The stories I could tell would knock everyone over. Forget about being nice. Just get them out of your face. This country is in so much trouble in so many areas, and it is foolish to think that it is going to get better. We completely lost control of this country officially when the illegal Federal Reserve Act was signed, and President Wilson, and the Congress, gave control of our Treasury to a Private Bank. Thomas Jefferson warned us against this after he abolished the first Private Bank running our Treasury. Andrew Jackson, the second time, warned us again. We have a Government that has turned against it's own people, and we are too spoiled to rise up and fight back. Because of this, we will suffer more than if we fight.

Paul Marglin Did you Know what they say is the Law, is not the Law at all. The United States Supreme Court has heard this so many times, they'll hear it no more. The US Constitution states that any law not made in Harmony With this Document? Is Not Withstanding. Another words it is not Law at all. But this is not the the reason that Statutory Law is not Law at all. Statutory Law is not Law, because it is Private Law. It is Private Law at the Point that it is Copyrighted. Now if it is copyrighted? That means someone owns the Copyrights. The Company that Owns the Copyrights, is a company called West Law. And The BAR Association Owns West Law. Now to take the Rabbit Hole a little deeper? What does the BAR stand for? British Accredited Registry! Common Wealth Law, which is English Law. Not Common Law, Which is Our Constitution. I'd say the Young Gentleman Ricky, has Panic/Anxiety Disorder, the way he was shaking from the start, plus the Excitability he was showing. Most don't even know they have it. His Vocabulary could have been a little cleaner, but with a gun pulled on you? He had every right in the world to be stressed. But like Micheal Martin Loving Lea, I too am a combat Vet, plus I've studied the law for 28 years. So The thing is, Everyone reacts differently, in different situations. The Cops? Are trained to Violate your rights. And now? They are being trained to shoot first and ask questions later. We do truly Live in a Police State. Under the Law? Those people claiming to be Deputy Sheriffs? Are not Officers at all. Show me where in the Constitution it states that an Elected Official, can delegate out their Authority. Infact quite the opposite, under the law? They cannot do that at all. So who you think is the Law Enforcement Agents of this Country of ours? Are nothing more then a Bunch of Armed Terrorists, enforcing Laws that are not even enforceable on a willing People. By the Way? If you wish to get technical? Law Enforcement? Is dead against the Constitution. It is a Dictation of Laws to the People of the Land. Hope this was some what informative of what is, and what is not the Law of this Land. Have a Blessed Day One and All..

Mike Muñoz He handled it perfectly...and let them know their culture of intimidation and stupdity is wrong and let them know OTHER people are watching them. Years of abuse that went undocumented before mobile devices....I shudder the thought of the injustices through the ages....how police have lied and innocent people have suffered in prison...because of lying and their bullying mentality...shudder....the horror of it all!!!

Yeah he swears a lot but he had every right to be upset. Having a gun pointed at you can have that effect on people. They had already determined he was not the guy they were looking for but it's important to them to coerce every person they come into contact with to voluntarily give up their rights. He did the right thing. You have no responsibility to "assist" the police and every reason to fear they will use your "assistance" against you.

she pulled her when he reached into his front sagging pocket she did nothing wrong , when you look like the suspect they are looking for you better believe show identification to clear matter up quickly

Darwin F. Foster . I agree that he didn't have to give his name, but he did not look like the suspect, and she knew it. They were looking for an Hispanic male with a lady tattooed on his neck. Ricky looked as white as white can be to me. Plus, apparently he didn't a lady tattooed on his neck.

Darwin Foster wrong again. When you give your id you are giving them a reason to investigate you. Once you cross that line the door is open and there is no closing it just as once you invite a cop into your home you cannot demand your 4th amendment rights. Stop giving misinformation. You are telling people to willfully surrender their rights.

Darwin F. Foster no offence but if you have a paranoid mind and think every single person is gonna kill you on the fact you are a cop, then i think you need to quit your job and do something less deadly.

Darwin F. Foster like he said. Are we not allowed to reach in our front pocket? If he didn't pull his phone out before her then he wouldn't of been able to record the convo cause clearly she was shooting before he was.

Sure show me your papers, Im looking for a white guy with a tatoo and you fit the description. Even after she admitted oh no it was that guy over there. These are my streets bch's do what I say when I say it Im the law in this town! Next time he sneezes she can say I thought he was going for a gun how dare you reach into your pocket.

Darwin F. Foster the suspect they were looking for had his girlfriends keys...they just wanted to get his keys and be on their way, they werent even looking to arrest him...why would that lead them to believe he was armed??

Darwin F. Foster This man was treated as if he were guilty until proven innocent with NO prior information pointing at him as a suspect. No matter how "easy" you think it would be for him to give up his name, or no matter how much you think it would deescalate the situation; this man was correct in protecting his constitutional rights. Many people have fought and died for the rights that we have, and any notion that suggests one is being "difficult" with the police by flexing their rights is disrespectful to those who have fought and died to protect your rights. Not flexing your constitutional rights is saying our soldiers died in vain. Keep that in mind.

Richard Abbey Sorry, but actually
Richard.., YOU are giving out what you called "misinformation". (I would call it erroneous information!) Anyway, the fact is; even after having allowed them into your home AND consenting to a search- you still have the right to withdraw that consent and/or ask them to leave at any time. That is a fact.., and GOOD information- for those people out there foolish enough to ever allow them in in the first place!

Darwin F. Foster Problem is the cop shave overused the "you fit the description" So I get that however at least they asked for his ID rather than arrest him hold him for 12 hours then let him go when they discover he really is NOT the one they was looking for. I had that ALMOST happen to me . a guy with a warrant as ONE SSN away from mine.

nothing wrong with swearing. they are just words. so words can be powerful but I would think humanity would have evolved enough to know words are abstract concepts that lay outside boundaries of the physical conflict. even swearing while speaking to a judge in court should have no consequences either. unless youre threatening people. lol

Tito Otrebla Tejeda That wasn't an opinion. An opinion would be something related to this article. Anything else is irrelevant. Nobody cares if some fat girl gets her feelings hurt because someone called someone else fat lol.

Sorry Jojo, I was just told that the dude in the video is your boyfriend and that's why these comments are hurting your balls. . Or tits, can't really figure out your gender because of your gay ass name. Believe me nigga bitch, I don't make a habit of interfering in loving relationships. Once again I apologize

Really the bitch cop pulls her gun on him because he may have his girlfriend's keys?!!? It's so obvious pigs get into weird territory when they confront people know their rights. Cops are such thugs who rely on force and coersion. Its sickening.

and that's all it was. Get your name into the system so when some crime happens they have leads. All that would do is put his free life in the hands of thugs who show no mercy and zero accountability to his life. Never speak to a pig! And if they come to you, pray you have the balls that Ricky showed.

the guy who DID have the keys had as per the video a RESTRAINING ORDER on him... chances are that guy beat his girlfriend. Now maybe the guy was a light skinned Hispanic with a wife beater T-shirt cammo Pants & a crew cut The SAME look this guy had. Sometimes the Cops ARE just doing their job as defined.

Sean Okelley That first ticket you got at 16 Put you in the system. I'd rather give up my ID to prove I'm who I say I am as that IS the ID's Purpose. tHan sit in a Jail cell for 12 hours waiting for the fingerprints they took to come back proving I was not the guy.

Kevin Casey Keep dreaming! People have fucking RIGHTS! You don't go person to person, detaining, questioning, harassing, intimidating, stalking, and pulling a fucking gun on innocent until proven guilty people, with ZERO fucking probable cause from some generic fucking ID, given by someone who's story may prove to be false. If the god damn cops were doing their god damn job this video would have never happened! Cops are rogue fucking thugs!

Their job is made much easier when folks just give up their rights, and identify, when not legally required to do so. Unfortunately, our job is defending our rights, not making their jobs easier. What good is a right if folks willingly go around waiving them?

Joe O'Malley , you are such a Jew-hating, racist idiot. And I am sure that makes you proud -- but you will pretend it doesn't. Oh -- lucky for you -- the Nazis kept records. Not that you can read them, illiterate idiot that you are.

Soledad Villanueva.. I agree with you 100%... that is how it got started... lonh before Naziism took hold in Europe... it started in America and it's still going on for more than 200 years and counting... FUCK THE UNHOLY AMERICAN LAW ENFORCEMENT....

Joe O'Malley Did you pull out every word you know longer than six letters to write that insult? And what is the basis of your remark? That IS how Nazism got started and Amerika is following their blueprint to the letter to enact the same servitude Hitler and Co. enjoyed in the late 30's and 40's.

Joe O'Malley You can deny the holocaust all you want, but it doesn't change the historical facts of the rise of the Third Reich and N.S.D.A.P.. The suppression of rights (speech, assembly, press, etc.) is well documented in the Nazi's own precise records. Love National Socialism all you want, but don't use it as a shield for ignorance.

Kevin Casey what does showing your ID for beer have to do with this? proving that you are 21 to buy something you have to be 21 for which they don't even have to sell you has nothing to do with police officers investigating you just because of your ethnicity. you're logic does not link those situations. every human has the right to do as they choose without interference from ANYONE as long as you don't encroach on anyone elses property. property including your mind and body.

Regardless of how he handled it, It's another example of cops running amok. I know cops I work with cops, many of them are good guys, however the entire enterprise is completely out of control. Additionally, he's lucky he did not get shot.

A lot of unknowns here J.O. and yes some are good and some not so much. My question is why the initial encounter? And why is Ricky so crazy uncooperative. My spidey sense tells me he may have some "system experience". That being said, I do hope there is a well based reason to approach him. Not to mention the new rage is video police while being uncooperative in an attempt to bait the officer(s) into not so good things.

Tom Woodruff It doesn't help when people suggest standing up for your rights is being uncooperative. Defending your rights from being violated while filming doesn't mean you are baiting anyone. It is called "Your Rights" for a reason. There is no law saying you have to give that information when you haven't done anything. Walking doesn't make you a suspect/criminal. Stopping everyone with camo shorts is a joke, a very bad joke.

Tom Woodruff regardless of the particulars, i think all too often, some officers out there are very quick to escalate to threats and violence, as well as immediately asserting their "role as authority" in a belligerent manner. This idea that "everyone is a potential criminal" needs to change. As citizens, we work too hard to be pushed around by someone with a hard on for "administering justice", especially punitive justice. As far as filming the police goes, I think if one is professional they should handle themselves with dignity under pressure. As the government always likes to say, "If you have nothing to hide why should you worry if we spy on you". The same should go for peace officers. Finally, there are many Americans that are completely out of control,and frankly some of them need to get their heads caved in on ocassion. I am not against law enforcement getting assholes off the street. I am against the excessive treatment of people who are a low-level threat, if that. There's too many dick-waving, steroid-driven maniac cops out there that need to be held accountable for committing some pretty heinous crimes.

Tom Woodruff HOW DO you know. a lot of assumption there. How do you know this guy hasn;t been falsely arrested before and spent days in a cage trying to prove his innocence. Which happens so much in the USA it is not funny. Why should anyone have to OBEY POLICE in a FREE SOCIETY. END OF STORY. She said she was looking for someone with his name, BUT SHE DIDN;T KNOW HIS NAME, SHE KEPT ASKING FOR IT> THAT IS ONE FUCKED UP MORONIC COP.

Tom Woodruff If you firmly believe that he was trying to "bait" them while recording when at the beginning of the video she had her pistol out which you can clearly see she putting it away, and her only response is "you look like a guy we are looking for." I would be pretty high strung too if someone pulled a gun out on me and said " you look like someone I'm looking for." Do you see how fucked up that situation is now? What if he wasn't the guy and she shot him for no reason..? If you want the police to continue to control your life then keep doing what you are doing..but if you are an ACTUAL American..then fucking stand up for your rights. Being a Patriot and believing in the Constitution or Bill of Rights doesn't make you a "domestic terrorist" like the fucking corrupt politicians and government want everyone to believe...it's about believing in what our founding fathers gave us to grow off of.

I agree that having her gun out was a bit off, but if Ricky's is so innocent why didn't he just give his name. If she is looking for a possibly dangerous suspect who matched the discription she may have cause to have her gun out. We talk about cops who want to hurt people or abuse their power, but what about the lack of respect to cops. Everyone says cops are assholes and jerks but they aren't all that way but everyone assumes they are. They have a tough job where the next person they confront or pull over could try to kill them, it can't be easy to give everyone the benefit of the doubt when you deal with that. If you have nothing to worry about than just give the cop your name.

Tom Woodruff C'mon Tom. By the way he acted he may have had some "system experience". I'm sure the camo shorts and his tattoos made the 1st cop suspect he may have a weapon, so she made-up a BS excuse to search him. It starts with the ID, then check his record, based on that, search him. It's BS

Tom Woodruff "why the initial encounter?" ...Because the pointed a gun at him. Checking the rules for firearms handling, you do NOT point even an UNloaded firearm at anything you aren't willing to DESTROY. Hence, before a word was exchanged, he was made aware that she was perfectly willing to end his life.

Seems to me the cop baited him by turning around and following him after she told him he could go...baited him and called for back up.She instigated the whole incident that almost resulted him being tazed by the over zealous big guy with a badge

Tom Woodruff your spider sense? The captions that man put on the video basically tells you he's been to jail before. Also, whenever a cop comes near me I'm suppose to stand at attention, hands to the side, only moving when permitted?

Christopher J. Duffy He didnt have to give his name because he has a right not to. A right that better men and women then you or I have fought and died for among all of the other rights we are entitled to as American citizens. He was doing YOU a favor by standing up for the rights ALL OF US have in this country. Now on another note the cops had admitted they were looking for another man with his girlfriends keys. Keys can only be deadly in the hands of a very skilled soldier or martial artist. If a cop is brandishing their weapon in a non hostile environment, such as the one holding the tazer while all of his backup surrounded the "potential threat armed with keys", then intimidation and coercion are the only motives i can see there. As far as his language it is not up to us CIVILIANS to act in a professional manner. A cop is supposed to be professional. If a waiter, as an example, were to act out in response to an asshole customer they would be FIRED. Why do I as a citizen have to make their job easier? When they INSIST that it isnt their job to protect us.

Watch the video. The cop asks for his ID stating she was looking for a perp that matched his description. Obviously the cop has a computer in her car and had the name of the perp. The lazy fucking cop can pull up the perps picture. This guy had no tat on his neck, end of story, or it should have been. Did you notice the chinese cop taking his picture? She then emails the pic to her station and can find out in minutes if he is the same suspect, and furthermore find his true identity.

You Roberto A'Moron Cause it's not a free society, and the parameters of what is free are not very well elaborated on. We really overstretch semantics to mean whatever the hell we want when we say something as broad as "free" in the context of society.

the police MUST get you to admit you're the LEGAL NAME slave to have jurisdiction to bring you, the living, into their dead legal fiction realm....the LEGAL NAME is CROWN owned property that no-one, other that BAR members, have permission to use...if you use a LEGAL NAME you think is you, you are instantly guilty of FRAUD, you GRANT full jurisdiction and they can do whatever they want to THEIR BODY (crown property as registered by parents/creators) that you think is yours...don't believe me?...look how desperate these cops/animals are to GET you to ADMIT to be a FRAUD LEGAL NAME using criminal/stolen ID-ENTITY...google kate of gaia for lots more on how YOU can finally OWN these goons COLD....no legal mumbo jumbo required...kate

So many so quick to say only if he gave them his Id it would of been over with. Over the last 12 years, I have been stopped and question, detained in the back of squad cars, had guns drawn on etc. over 20 times just for walking down the street.

I have been pulled over 34 times In my adult driving life (and those are the ones I have kept track of). In all those cases I have had 3 tickets for obvious minor traffic violations, In every other case it was Ohh "you looked like someone were looking for" or Oh you Look suspicious" It happen so much I know police procedures better then new cadets. Should i just be used to that?

I never belong to any gangs or did drugs but yet I was always treated like I did by police. I wish I knew my rights back then and saw videos like this way back then. Im a black man do's that have anything to do with it? In a lot of my personal experiences it dos as even the cops who have pulled me over said it them selves. A lot of you people will never know what its like to be in people like to have these experiences so you sit there and say oh just give in. Trust me if you have had gone thorough half of what I have been through with law enforcement you would have a different tune.

I can't even imagine what hell you go through. I'm already a paranoid person. Not because I'm a criminal, but because I see who the real criminals are. If I was black I would have no life at all because I would be afraid to go get coffee like Ricky did, and end up being arrested. What happens when you never did anything and a cop car pulls up and someone says, "Yea, that's him." ? That is where are world is heading unless we stand up and video tape every encounter with police.

I have always been disgusted by the very obvious aggressive racial profiling. Having my half black brothers get followed, detained, etc, for having nice cars that they worked hard for angers me. Having my native american fiance get pulled over for no reason because his skin color frightens the trigger hungry cops in my town... I'm done with it. This entire police militant action is going to get worse. We have allowed police officers to legally murder innocent people because we are too fearful to stand up to them. This nation will continue to decline until we can get our shit together.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

And the police wonder why their job is becoming harder and more dangerous. 18 minutes on the tax payers dollar and how many people called for real help and were not responded too during that time for the fact the police were covering up their unlawful acts that were recorded, This man deserves the "I'M A REAL AMERICAN" award! I wish more people were like him!

WE are looking for a SUSPECT that fits your description. That knowing his name want change anything. they make shit up on the go and intimidate people into obedience. the USA is a POLICE STATE. Dumb ass moron with guns working like the Mafia to protect the ruling elite from you. get used to it, it is going to get much much much WORSE.

When two or more people attempt to violate a person's rights under the color of law it is a crime. Many times a felony. Report these types of interactions to your local FBI office. Get a lawyer immediately. Cash is yours for the taking and hopefully wrist bracelets for these four criminal pigs.. scum..

Way to go Ricky! Cops whole game is to manipulate you into letting them violate your rights! That's what they're trained to do! Rarely do they stop people who actually know their rights and stick up for themselves. And when you do, it changes their whole game plan and catches them off guard! That's why she pulled the gun on Ricky without even talking to him. Hoping he would easily comply with her...boy was she wrong! Always video your encounters with cops!! Even traffic stops, it's your right!! Ricky definitely would've gotten tazed and possibly shot if he wasn't recording all of this!! Citizen+1 vs. Cops-5

HOW is taking your girlfriend keys justify this sort of ridiculous action. and then the multiple cops backing each others version of events up with bullshit. This is pure harrasment and American do nothing about it to defend their fellow Americans from the RULING ELITES MAFIA THUGS.

your the bitch if you would have answered the question, that makes you a pussy for not sticking up for your constitutional rights, bitch. and he isnt the one stopping the cops, they stopped him, and wouldnt let him leave, how is he fucking with them? ... they fucked with him dumb dumb.

Since you're obviously a police officer (or have friends that are), you never have to deal with situations like this, since all you have to do is flash your badge and you get a free-pass. It's also obvious that you're in favor of escalation and brutality by cops, since you attempted to start a clothing line dubbed "Warfare Inc." Hope you never have to deal with things on this side of the blue-line.

You're welcome. Here's some more research about your character, or lack thereof. You actually posted a response to a video of 4 cops beating and tazing a man by saying that "if (the suspect) hadn't resisted the force the police were already using, they wouldn't have had to use force." Do you see how stupid that sounds? I don't care what the guy was doing, if it takes 4 grown men with weapons to take down *1* unarmed, shirtless man, then they need to seek a new profession. I'm sure you can come up with some justification for it though.

You're right John I can. Officer safety. It's not a one on one street fight. The cops have a job to do. If they are trying to take a suspect into custody they are going to use numbers. 4 is better than 1.

@Den Nis - Pulling a gun is a threat of deadly force. Try pulling a gun and pointing it at a fellow citizen. You can be charged with brandishing, menacing, and (depending on what you say) other crimes (depending on your state) by stating you plan to use it.

Pulling a weapon is a VERY aggressive act - often necessary for police officers.

Den Nis On this ("not being a street fight") I have to agree with Den Nis.

Cops call in #'s because if things escalate they want to be able to resolve it in their favor.

Now, that said - if a bad cop calls in buddies just to get back up so they can resolve it - not in favor of what is right, but simply because they were wrong, have escalated, and now "need" to "win" then yes, it can be badly misused.

I have, on many occasions, had interactions with the Police. Sometimes on a personal level (friends from HS who became LEOs), by being pulled over, getting caught parking, and a couple of times for being suspected of something serious.

Whether you are right or wrong, innocent or guilty, freaking out and escalating is not going to help. I'm not saying be a sheep - but do know the law, the limits of the law, be polite, and don't lose your cool. It will most likely end badly for you if you do.

Den Nis California Penal Code 417 PC specifically state that you are guilty of the offense if you weren't acting in self-defense at the time you drew or exhibited your weapon.

The officer in question brandished her weapon without fear of self-defense and did so after someone stood up for his rights.

Probable Cause: http://law.onecle.com/california/penal/836.html

Only in an act of a felony, domestic violence, assault and battery, or when an unlawful act is being done in front of an office is when a peace officer can use "probable cause" to detain someone..none of which were this case.

You should do some research, or bite your tongue before you talk about giving up rights just to make "someone's job easier".

I can comment on anything I want cedrick. I'm not the kind of person because I don't do stupid shut that the police will come and question me about. I don't hang on the corner. I don't sell drugs. I work. I'm home. I'll go out with friends. I stay the fuck out of trouble by choice.

Den Nis Sooo you missed the part about Ricky walking down the street minding his own business. You are commenting because you have a dog in this race. You are a cop and just like these cops in the video are not being above board. Dishonest and rotten to the core.

in the you tube video it says that in his comments, they did continue even after in the clip claiming they were leaving!
if you watch that video its a bit longer and you can hear them saying, "oh we'll see you again" or "I bet you'll be in jail soon enough" they also said" hes making us suspicious because he wont give us his id" I mean several threating and down right prejudice comments to him that even made me nervous!

DUMB ASS COP: Because I am looking for someone with your name, now what was your name again.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME> TALK ABOUT POLICE STATE AND A BUNCH OF MORON THAT DO NOT LIKE THEIR AUTHORITY QUESTIONED. HOW LOW DOES YOUR IQ NEED TO BE TO JOIN EITHER THE POLICE OR MILITARY, because it seems every one that has a gun for a job is a complete and utter fucking moron.
